JQuery - Changing calendar dates based on model data
As a part of a task, I created an "apartment listings" website. I managed to get that done, but now I need to make a "reservation system" for it. The basic idea is that a logged in user can select an apartment from the listed apartments, pick a "start_date" and an "end_date" (if the apartment already isn't booked ) and book the apartment. When the user clicks on the date input field, a jquery datepicker pops up and he can then pick the date via the calendar, same for end date. Once he goes through with the booking, I want the dates to be "disabled" in the calendar so no one else can pick them. This is the datepicker that I'm using: https://jqueryui.com/datepicker/ and the code: <script> $(function () { $("#datepicker").datepicker(); }); </script> Im a total Django / web development newbie, and need some pointers in order to start somewhere with this task, I know some JS but jquery is new to me, that's why I'd like some help. I have an Apartment model which contains all of the Apartments info that I use to print everything out with the template. I have an Reservation model which saves the start … -
Doubts how to design data with Django and PostgreSQL when having a value for every hour of the year
I am running a django app with PostgreSQL as my database. I have a building model called building. From this model I create many building instances. I have another model which is called forests from which I create many forests instances. (Let's assume I have even more models for which the same applies) Now I want to add data (let's call it x) for every building and for every forest for every hour of the year. That means I will have 8760 values for every building and forest instance. For instance: Hour1 : 234 Hour2 : 667 ... HourX : x ... Hour8760: 34 These 8760 values will be added, roughly estimated, 10-15 times a day, so that could lead to 131400 values a day. Now, I have doubts on how to design that. I thought I could go with a model like so: class Hour(models.Model): building = models.ForeignKey(Building, on_delete=models.CASCADE) forest = models.ForeignKey(Forest, on_delete=models.CASCADE) hour = models.IntegerField(...) value = models.FloatField(...) timestamp = models.CharField(max_length=200, null=True, blank=True) My second thought is to design it with a JSONField inside of an ArrayField like discussed here: Django JSONField inside ArrayField. So maybe I could save a dictionary for every building and every forest OR … -
problem with get_absolute_url django python
I used get_absolute_url in my app but it works only on admin site (by button view on site). On my website, the hyperlink is not responding. I've checked every line of code a couple of times and it seems like everything's fine.

My swiper-pagination is overlapping with the text and my Hamburger appears behind the slider when open
i have a simple problem that i can't wrap my head around. My swiper-pagination that is supposed to appear at the bottom of the text overlaps with the text at the bottom of the page hence it cannot be seen clearly. I would like for it to appear like 10px below the text to clearly be seen by anyone visiting my site. Another problem is when you view it in mobile platform when you click on the hamburger the contents appear behind the slider and i would like then to come in-front of the slider and be clickable for clients to view the other pages. My project is on django and i have linked the swiper.min.js and swiper.min.css to my static root folder.My code is as follow below.

How to fix 'TypeError: join() ' When displaying DB Images in Django Templates
I am trying to display some images uploaded to my DB via the admin page using the image.url attribute. When the page loads, the image.url is correct, but the terminal shows an internal server error with the traceback ending with "TypeError: join() argument must be str or bytes, not 'list'" I can't find where specifically the join method is called as the traceback seems to only talk about internal files.

Fresh mysql database getting "mydb.background_task doesn't exist" - Django

How to integrate a function based view into a class based view in Django?
In my site I have 2 sections for users. The user posts page and the profile page. The profile page has all their info on it, so username, description, first/last name, etc. And the user posts page has all their posts on it. However, I want to integrate them together somehow. Here is some of the code. Here is the view for the User Posts class UserPostListView(ListView): model = Post template_name = 'mainapp/user_posts.html' context_object_name = 'posts' def get_queryset(self): user = get_object_or_404(User,username=self.kwargs.get('username')) return Post.objects.filter(author=user).order_by('-published_date') As you can see, I am returning the specific users posts. And now here is my profile view def view_profile(request,pk=None): if pk: user_profile = User.objects.get(pk=pk) else: user_profile = request.user context = {'user':user_profile} return render(request,'mainapp/profile.html',context) It returns all the user's info.

Integrate django model with legacy db
I understand that Django Model is pretty fussy when it comes to the absence of a primary key. I have a legacy database (SQL Server) that I am connecting too (it is not the default one), and in that I have a database.view which I am supposed access. However, the issue is that the view does not have any primary key. How do i enable django to query from that table without being able to modify the schema? Here is what I did: I created a ReadOnlyModel and got my other django model to subclass it. This was done because I wanted to bypass the django's need for PK (evidently it did work, but threw another error - see below) class ReadOnlyModel(models.Model): def save(self, *args, **kwargs): pass def delete(self, *args, **kwargs): pass I created an ActiveObjectManager for Django to know which database to point too. The reason i used this over a router is because the router would work best if I was creating two seperate applications in the same repo. However, I am using one application: class Db2ActiveObjectManager(models.Manager): def get_queryset(self): qs = super(Db2ActiveObjectManager, self).get_queryset() if hasattr(self.model, 'use_db'): qs = qs.using(self.model.use_db) return qs Below is a sample model from the … -

I'm testing a login in conjunction with an AuthenticationForm with those same user credentials, but I'm not getting the expected response. When passing data to the form: form.is_valid() is returning False. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/topics/auth/default/#django.contrib.auth.forms.AuthenticationForm In the docs it says: By default, AuthenticationForm rejects users whose is_active flag is set to False. How can I set User.is_active to False, but also enter the conditional blocks subsequently so that the appropriate flash message is returned dependent on the aformentioned attribute status? def sign_in(request): import pdb; pdb.set_trace() form = AuthenticationForm() if request.method == 'POST': form = AuthenticationForm(data=request.POST) if form.is_valid(): if form.user_cache is not None: user = form.user_cache if user.is_active: login(request, user) return HttpResponseRedirect( reverse('home') # TODO: go to profile ) else: messages.error( request, "That user account has been disabled." ) else: messages.error( request, "Username or password is incorrect." ) return render(request, 'accounts/sign_in.html', {'form': form}) class UserAccountSignIn(TestCase): @classmethod def setUpTestData(cls): cls.inactive_user = { 'username': 'non_user', 'password': 'secret', 'is_active': False } User.objects.create_user(**cls.inactive_user) def test_inactive_user_login_fail(self): self.client.login(**self.inactive_user) response = self.client.post(reverse('accounts:sign_in'), self.inactive_user) self.assertContains(response, "That user account has been disabled.") https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/contrib/auth/forms.py#L213 Actual results:ValidationError("This account is inactive.") Expected results: A flashed messaged of: "That user account has been disabled."
